I do not get a logon screen per Mandrake manual. Mandrake tech support requires registration and of course I don't have a CD key. Is there a key combo to evoke the logon screen? Thank you for your help in advance.
Sounds like something is screwed up with your X server starting up. Hit ctrl-alt-F1 to go to a text prompt, log in as root, and take a look at /var/log/XFree86.0.log (Mandrake may use X.org, which might use a different log file...not sure) Hopefully you'll see something enlightening there.
